Greetings All,
Just thought I'd drop by and share the exciting news that Clash of Arms Games is now shipping Persian Incursion! Persian Incursion is a standalone game based on the Harpoon 4 rules simulating a hypothetical Israeli air campaign against the Iranian nuclear program. The game uses a card-driven system to simulate the complex political situation surrounding the campaign, with players spending Political, Intelligence, and Military Points to take actions ranging from issuing a U.N. resolution, to blocking the Straits of Hormuz, to bombing the Iranian uranium enrichment facility at Natanz. The Israelis can destroy any target in Iran sooner or later...but the Iranians are masters of asymmetric warfare, and will be doing their best to undermine the Israeli campaign and deny them the overflight rights they'll need to hit their targets. Can the Israelis accomplish their objective before the window off opportunity slams shut?
Platforms modeled include the F-15I Ra'am, F-16I Soufa, Shavit special missions aircraft, F-4E Phantom, J-7M Fishbed, F-5E Tiger II, and of course the famous Iranian F-14s! There are options in the political game for one side or the other to get a superpower ally, which means the Iranians might look up and see F-22s overhead...or the Israelis might see Su-27 Flankers closing in on their radar screens. The game also includes rules for modeling Iran's ballistic missile arm and Israel's Arrow-3 and PAC-3 missile defense systems.
